After Lu Junyi avenges Chao Gai, he should become the owner of Liangshanzhai. However, Song Jiang proposed that Dongping Mansion and Dongchang Mansion each send one person to lead the siege of the city, and the one who captured it first would become the lord of Liangshan. Song Jiang, who captured Dongping Mansion, had no obstacles, but in Dongchang Mansion, Lu Junyi was defeated by Zhang Qing because of two consecutive losses, and he was known as a stone master with "no feather arrows". Zhang Qing defeated fifteen generals of Liangshan in a row, and even captured Liu Tang alive, and Wu Yong was able to design to capture him alive, which shows his strength.
At the time of the Liangshan Uprising, Zhang Qing was listed as the 16th, named Tianjiexing, and served as one of the "Eight Tiger Riders and Pioneer Envoys of the Ma Army";However, Dong Ping was ranked ahead of him and became the "Five Tiger Generals of the Ma Army", with Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, and Hu Yanzhuo. Although Zhang Qing's martial arts are better than Dong Ping, why did he fail to enter the "Five Tiger Generals of the Ma Army"?
The reason why Dong Ping was able to occupy a high position was not by virtue of martial arts. Compared with others, Dong Ping had two major advantages: one was that his surrender contributed to Song Jiang's dream of becoming the lord of Liangshan;The second is that his ruthless personality is in line with Song Jiang's appetite. And what about Zhang Qing?First of all, although he is good at flying stone stunts and his martial arts are better than Dong Ping, he did not cause too much amazement;Secondly, he joined Liangshan relatively late and did not contribute much to the village;Moreover, he has no great influence on Liangshan;In the end, although he failed to enter the "Five Tiger Generals of the Ma Army", Song Jiang also valued him very much, and was awarded the title of "Eight Tiger Riders and Pioneer Envoys of the Ma Army" with Hua Rong, Shi Jin, Yang Zhi and others.
